Christina Georgina Rossetti, one of the most important women poets writing in nineteenth-century England, was born in London December 5, 1830, to Gabriele and Frances (Polidori) Rossetti. Although her fundamentally religious temperament was closer to her mother\'s, this youngest member of a remarkable family of poets, artists, and critics inherited many of her artistic tendencies from her father. Judging from somewhat idealized sketches made by her brother Dante, Christina as a teenager seems to have been quite attractive if not beautiful. In 1848 she became engaged to James Collinson, one of the minor Pre-Raphaelite brethren, but the engagement ended after he reverted to Roman Catholicism. When Professor Rossetti\'s failing health and eyesight forced him into retirement in 1853, Christina and her mother attempted to support the family by starting a day school, but had to give it up after a year or so. Thereafter she led a very retiring life, interrupted by a recurring illness which...

VWVirginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf (n. 25 ianuarie 1882, Londra, d. 28 martie 1941, Rodmell) a fost o scriitoare și eseistă engleză, una dintre precursoarele romanului modern. Între cele două războaie mondiale, a fost o figură marcantă a societății literare londoneze și membră a grupului Bloomsbury. Virginia Woolf (născută Virginia Stephen) s-a născut la Londra, a crescut și și-a făcut educația într-o familie victoriană clasică. În 1895, în urma morții mamei, a făcut primul episod de depresiune afectivă dintr-o lungă serie ce i-a urmat. După moartea tatălui său (Sir Leslie Stephen, redactor și critic literar) în 1904, s-a mutat împreună cu sora sa Vanessa într-o casă din Bloomsbury, unde s-a format cercul de intelectuali cunoscut sub numele de Bloomsbury Group. Virginia Woolf și-a început cariera de scriitoare în 1905, publicând în suplimentul literar al ziarului The Times. În 1912 se căsătorește cu Leonard Woolf, funcționar și teoretician politic.

G.K. Chesterton
Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London, England on the 29th of May, 1874. Though he considered himself a mere \"rollicking journalist,\" he was actually a prolific and gifted writer in virtually every area of literature. A man of strong opinions and enormously talented at defending them, his exuberant personality nevertheless allowed him to maintain warm friendships with people-- such as George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells--with whom he vehemently disagreed. Chesterton had no difficulty standing up for what he believed. He was one of the few journalists to oppose the Boer War. His 1922 Eugenics and Other Evils attacked what was at that time the most progressive of all ideas, the idea that the human race could and should breed a superior version of itself. In the Nazi experience, history demonstrated the wisdom of his once \"reactionary\" views. His poetry runs the gamut from the comic The Logical Vegetarian to dark and serious ballads. During the dark days of 1940, when Britain...

A)Adeline Virginia Woolf (Stephen )
Born Adeline Virginia Stephen in London to Sir Leslie Stephen, considered the father of the Bloomsbury Group, and Julia Prinsep Stephen (born Jackson) (1846–1895), she was educated by her parents in their literate and well-connected household at 22 Hyde Park Gate, Kensington. Virginia\'s parents had each been married previously, and their spouses had died.

One of his most famous poems, Ethics for Everyman, deals with double-morality of ethical principles.
